http://www.cellml.org/team exists and has existed since cellml.org first went live. Are you suggesting we drop this? > I don't think we should use the word 'project team' because there is no > formal project team. Perhaps we can just have a list of people again, please see http://www.cellml.org/team > categorised by their interest in the CellML project, and then a contact > page which helps people find certain people (for example, we could have > a category for technical issues with cellml.org, which would list Tommy, > a category for people with the ability to curate cardiac > electrophysiology models, which would list James, and a category for > people with an interest in cardiac electrophysiological modelling, which > would list anyone who wanted to be on the list). The problem I still have with these lists and categorisations is that unless someone actively maintains them they rapidly become outdated and provide the community and potential community members with inconsistent information. They also provide the possibility of emails going unanswered due to the person/people they email being out of touch for some reason. The basic premise is that we want to encourage all correspondence to go to the cellml-discussion mailing list - thus providing the most benefit to both the sender and the community. Providing contact details for the core team members (http://www.cellml.org/team) is simply a way to try and capture interest from people who, for whatever reason, have some aversion to participating in an open discussion.
